LETTER: Slippery slope

Published: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 05:38 PM.

State Rep. Matt Gaetz, like most other politicians, refuses to give the public the true picture of his actions. Instead of his legislation on medical marijuana making use of CBD legal under a doctor’s supervision, his bill redefines any cannabis plant with less than a certain amount of the THC compound not a cannabis plant by legislation.
Since no one, including law enforcement officers, can tell by looking at a cannabis plant how much THC is in it, all cannabis plants will have to be assumed to be legal. This is the slippery slope!
People, please read Rep Gaetz’s bill (HB 843) before supporting this backdoor legalization of marijuana.
